Once You Were Mine Lyrics - Dottie West

Bluer than all the skies above 

Sadder than the weeping willow tree 

That's the way I am without your love 

I never thought you'd run away from me 

Deeper than the oceans and the seas 

Sweeter than berries on the vine 

This was the love you took from me 

It hurts me so to see that I was blind 

Others I've known 

I can't recall their names 

Oh, but your love was different 

It was more than just a game 

Softer than velvet to my touch 

Smoother than satin cloth so fine 

And I love your mem'ry, oh, so much 

And rejoice to think once you were mine 

And rejoice to think once you were mine
